FG Frowns on Ex-US Envoy’s Stand on Nigeria
Headlines Friday, May 20th, 2011THE Federal Government has taken on a former United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. John Campbell, for his ceaseless “prophecy of doom” even after the generally acclaimed free and fair elections.
The government said his outbursts arose from his inadequate understanding and appreciation of the complexity of the Nigerian nation and its peoples.
In an interaction with editors on Friday night in Lagos, Minister of Information and Communications, Mr. Labaran Maku, took exceptions to the sustained maligning of Nigeria by the former envoy, in spite of the steady democratic progress being made by the country.
Maku, who said he was in Lagos to thank members of the fourth estate of the realm for their role before and after the election, said Campbell’s “message of doom” was borne out of the ignorance among some sections of the international community about Nigeria.
